RAILWAYMAN'S SON: A PLAINS FAMILY MEMOIR
|
Hawkins, Texas Tech Univ. Press, 196p, HD.
|
Hugh Hawkins was seven years old when his father’s job with the Rock Island Railroad forced his family to relocate to far western Kansas.
Before he turned twelve the family had lived in three Rock Island towns: Herington, Kansas; Goodland, Kansas; and finally El Reno, Oklahoma.
In this memoir, Hawkins paints a portrait of a middle-class family’s traditions and values in the heartland of the 1930s and 1940s.
